Oval in shape, with a pronouced bulge on one end, lemons are one of the most versatile fruits…

handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped

Method

Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Mix the oil, tomato purée and paprika together, then coat the potatoes thoroughly in it. Squash the garlic in its skin with the flat of a knife and place on a baking tray with the potatoes.

Season well with salt and pepper, then roast for 40 mins, turning halfway through, until the potatoes have crisped up and are fluffy inside. Five mins before the end of cooking, sprinkle over the lemon juice and return to the oven. Serve with the parsley scattered over.

I parboiled the potatoes and they took at least an hour on 210 dgrees (and I have a fan onven!) but they came out lovely, not greasy at all. I added a chopped red pepper and a couple of onions, which was a nice addition. My husband peeled way more than 800g potatoes, but there were none left! Igf there had they would have made a nice frittata base

worked a treat! I also added some sliced pepper 25 mn before the end of cooking. The potatoes were done just right, but I wasn't too strict with the timing, it may have taken 50 mn in the end. I think the secret is to cut them in smallish chunks. They were delicious. Indeed, my husband said they were just like the ones we'd had at the Spanish restaurant...

Jury still out........just made these for myself & my husband. We thought they were ok but not sure that I got the mixture of tomatoe puree, paprika & oil right as I felt the taste was predominently tomatoe. I didn't have smoked paprike & used ordinary paprika instead so maybe this is why. My mixture was quite lumpy & a bit dry so i had to keep adding oil while cooking. I did part boil first but still had to cook them in the oven at 200C for about 40 mins - they were crispy but a little burnt :-( Unfortunately they did not look as good as the recipe pic! Think I will need to give these another try for a better result.

These are great! Very easy to prepare and make a refreshing change from plain and boring side dishes. I added a bit of curry powder to the coating mix to spice them up a bit and also cooked them on gas mark 5 instead which I think was a good move, although they were still slightly firm inside so next time I think I will par-boil them first as well. I'm sure with a bit of practice I will manage to perfect them!
